All aboard! It was a big night in December Chattanooga, Tennessee All the old folks still remember That snowy Christmas Eve The way Santa saved that holiday It's still hard to believe Oh, the weatherman was callin' For the snow to keep comin' down And the way that it was fallin' Rudolph never saw the ground By Christmas Day Santa's sleigh Never made it to town Then all at once they heard A mighty whistle blow (ha-ha!) The ground started shakin' It even shook the mistletoe! And then comin' 'round the mountain Right through the steam and smoke Pullin' sixteen coaches Shoutin' "Ho! Ho! Ho!" Who needs a sleigh? Santa's got a choo-choo train, yeah! Well now, he could barely hold it Comin' down the hill so fast Yeah, that shiny locomotive Made it to town in no time flat But ya can't go slow with a Christmas load Comin' down the railroad tracks When he pulled into the station And he finally shut her down There was a big ol' celebration Everyone gathered 'round They passed out the toys to the girls and boys From miles around Then all at once they heard A mighty whistle blow The ground started shakin' It even shook the mistletoe! And then goin' 'round the mountain Right through the steam and smoke Pullin' sixteen coaches Shoutin' "Ho! Ho! Ho!" Who needs a sleigh When Santa's got a choo-choo train? Oh, yeah! Ain't no need to fly away Santa's got a choo-choo train! Um, humm, yeah!
